Hello everyone I am creating a theme dedicates to hotels display and booking in which I have created a custom post type 'Hotels' so now I want a mechanism to book the hotel rooms and a "book now" button in the hotel page to book the room which will send a request to the admin and also send an acknowledgement mail to the user for this I thought if I make some changes in comments form for post type hotel and display the comments form throw a comments_popup_link(); and add some more meta fields throw add_comments_meta();

But the question is how can I display the different custom comments(book now) requests in the admin panel with all the comments meta information related to the comments. Is it possible or do I have to think of some different mechanism to do what I'm expecting.

This is possible : you can fetch the comments form the database in the admin side in the same way you would do it on the client side with get_comments.

Now the question is : where exactly, in the admin side, do you want to display you custom comments ? You can for example create a meta box in the Hotel edit page. Or you can create a single custom admin page where all the booking will be listed.

Thanks Fabien but all of the comments are listed in the comments option with the approve, edit, delete functionality so is there any way I can display those comments for the custom posts(hotel ) in the meta box under costum post type (hotel) option with same functionality to edit, delete, approve

You can do that, but not very easily. Open the wp-admin/edit-comments.php file and study the PHP code : you should find all what you need.
